Almost completely enlisted, AIMS test is my final obstacle?

I really want to enlist. Ive been trying for a while. Having difficulties because i have a ged and no college credits. (cant get into college right now because i only have 9 months in my new city and i have to be 12 months to be considered resident and i cant move back to my old city). i took the asvab got a 60. i also took the physical at MEPS and passed. normally next step would be swear in etc. and get your ship date for BCT. Unfortunately (i think its new) ged applicants now also require to pass a AIMS test. Its some type of personality/morality test. i tanked it because supposedly i had answered the way i thought they would want me to answer instead of just answering truthfully. That there is no right or wrong answers they just all have to match. Its very tricky most people dont know what it is and the few stuff ive found online on it its other people who also failed it. What can i say i know the military can choose to be picky right now with numbers because of the recession. I guess this is one way of doing it. My recruiter already had active duty ready for me (they only had reserve available but i wanted active) and we found out i failed last moment right before i was suppose to see my counselor. i was so dissappointed. He said i would have to wait 6 months to retake the AIMS but that he'd try to get a waiver ASAP. That was like a day after and it got denied cus not even a week passed by im guessing. He doesnt answer my phonecalls anymore. so im asking here on yahoo. Its been 5 months. can i get a waiver? am i close enough to be able to retake it since im only a month away? can i switch recruiters ?
