Question seeking a test for English majors with higher validity and reliability

Dear everyone,
I am a Chinese postgraduate majoring in foreign language pedagogy. I am very glad to learn from you everyone. Now I am writing my thesis about reading for M.A. I have administerd my questionnaire in April this year, and I have been waiting for my subjects' TEM-4(Test for English Majors-4)-reading comprehension scores to explore the relationship beween an affective variable and reading proficiency. Their total scores have been announced in late September; however, there are not any discrete section scores such as listening, cloze, reading, writing, but their total scores. I am extremely disappointed because I have been waiting for them and their discrete scores were also announced in previous years. My supervisor has just helped me contact the TEM committee and they claimed they did not disclose them for their "research" purpose. As for validity and reliability for English majors, there are no tests better than TEM. Now I have no idea what to do next. Would you like to give me some advice? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
