Is it possible to get a re test on the asvab even if you passed?

I took the asvab once in October and score a 51. GT score 98.
My recruiter told me I’m not allowed to retest. At all. He said he’s not allowed to ask for a request to let me retest. I want to raise my GT in score but definitely raise the 51 as well, mainly for job opportunities. I’m pretty limited right now. He said I’m only allowed to do that if I failed or if I’m aiming for a specific job (which that is my reasoning). It’s a little frustrating because I haven’t spoken to anyone yet who said they weren’t allowed. I even have friends who scored 79-85 and were able to retest. The situation doesn’t make sense to me and I feel extremely pressured and bullied into settling for this. My recruiter said I’m just going to have to take whatever job is open, do what I gotta do and then worry about raising my score once I’m already at my duty station.

Recruiters don’t want you retesting because if you get a lower score, you have to go off of that score. You are allowed to retest.

I'm pretty sure I have taken the ASVAB at least 4 times. There is a mandatory time limit between testing, so you can't just take it every week, but you can retest. You do not have to settle for jobs available now with your current score. If you are looking at a particular MOS, continue to study for the ASVAB and retake it in 6 months. Hold out for what you want. If you sign a contract now, you may never get the MOS you want.

If you are already in the DEP, please advise. Poaching is probably stretching RP Terms of Service.
