I suspect that if you fail the tests at Gatwick then even if you pass in another state you will have a difficult job convincing CAA that they are valid enough to overturn the CAA results.
Worth bearing in mind when you plan your test "strategy"
Much easier to take test abroad and then approach Gatwick if positive and ask for recognition of passed medical.
My experience of this was that the CAA docs positively enouraged me to go abroad and do the tests there!
One senior, very senior , doc said that he did not believe in CVD restrictions and could see no point for them in today's world...he did add 'don't quote me' but it shows what a farce it is!
