GMAT for a person with average intelligence.

[mitulkaria]

Hi Experts,

I have just started studying for my GMAT's and it feels like I have forgotten a lot of the basics. Fortunately it is coming to me as I read and learn the topics. Truely speaking I am a person of average intelligence and as everyone out there, I would also like to score 700 and above. Being realistic I know it will be tough and I don't mind putting the hard work but I would like to get some ideas from the experts or people who have been in the same boat as I am.
I also understand that it is all about how you study the technique but there has to be some stats out there, also it would be helpful if you can recommend taking a online class, in person or just reading through the books like Kaplan or Manhattan.
I would really appreciate some input.

Thanks,

Mitul.
