So I am very new to GMAT and without any previous studying I just took advice from some videos and went ahead to take my first mock to familiarise myself with the exam and assess my level in the concepts tested. So my first mock score is a 600 ( Q40 V33). Could anyone shed some light on how to perceive this score report. Is it plausible for me to reach a 750 in 4 months time if I do dedicated preparation.

Hi. Yes, you can definitely improve your score.
The improvement will depend on your ability to process and focus on the task at hand compared to other applicants.
You are aiming for 750 which is a 98th percentile, so that means you have be better than most folks out there. So the effort you put in has to be better/greater than effort of everyone else, almost everyone else.
Since the prep materials are sort of the same for everyone - anyone can use a course or a book set (there are limited options), the success is a reflection of your ability to focus on the task, to keep yourself innovating and pushing, and wanting to learn and get as many questions answered correctly as possible as opposed to finish watching a list of videos.
Having said that, most people using any basic GMAT course or a book set will improve at least 80-90 points. Using a course with a live instructor likely will bump this up to 120 points. You can see my thoughts on books and courses here:
