Read the books at least 3 times before the exam. Make sure that you know the key events. It might be a good idea to storyboard the events, to leave a visual image in your head of what happens. Create a mind map for each character with key quotes as you don't have the book in the exam (our exam board didn't let us, not sure about AQA)
Also practice with papers, the questions are often repeated.

Not when we took the exam. We had to remember the quotes.

Check if the exam is open book (unless you're sure it is) because I wasn't allowed to take the book into the exam (WJEC)
Even if you do take the book in though, you don't have time to flick through and find quotations so try to memorise them as best as you can. I'd say make a mind map for each character and each theme (so in Of Mice and Men have mind maps for George, Lennie, Curley's Wife, Crooks, friendship, animals, etc.) with all the key quotes/events to do with them
Also, do all the practice papers you can, they help a lot

I'm doing of Mice and Men (on Edexcel), I was one mark of an A* in my mocks and I watched the movie and memorised the quotes. I don't get to take the book with me. Even so I think you should memorise major quotes to reduce time wasted finding them and prepare some mini essays as notes in your book which you can take along to help you.
