If you took that test completely cold without any prep, you probably would have scored higher, maybe 380 to 420, had you had any experience with the questions.
Regarding whether you can score much higher, you can score as high as you want. I know someone who started at 380 and ended up scoring 750 on the GMAT
3 to 4 months may not be enough time for you to get to a relatively high score though.
To drive your quant score higher, you need to work on quant topic by topic, first learning each topic from the ground up and then practicing by answering dozens of questions involving each topic.
For verbal, you should work question type by question type, mastering each in turn.
Probably, you should sign up for some kind of self-study course. By using a course, you will have an easy way to stay organized and have the information and practice questions you need all set up for you.

Hi AshokIbrahim,
Many Test Takers are unhappy with their initial practice scores, but you really shouldn't be. That 360 is just a measure of your skills right now - and you'll improve on that result over time as you learn more about the content, Tactics and little 'secrets' of the Exam. With 3-4 months of consistent, guided study, you could potentially improve a great deal, but before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your timeline and your goals:
1) What study materials do you currently have access to?
2) When you took this initial Diagnostic CAT, did you run out of time on any of the sections and have to 'rush' to finish? Did you leave any questions unanswered?
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
