Squealing is not always caused by the compound. Make sure you have properly bedded them, are keeping heat in them, and have anti-squeal on the backing plates. Some calipers just tend to make more noise by design, but you should not get garbage truck sounds at every corner.
The MOT "miss" is one of the biggest causes of noise on the track. If you can't keep the pad inside its adhesive friction range, it will be in abrasive friction and make a lot of noise -- and chew up rotors.
What tire are you on, what other mods does the car have, and what's your skill level like? You may need to go down to a slightly less aggressive compound.
