HF interview timeline / callbacks

So I have been interviewing for an associate role with some of the large MM shops and did one for a new book opening in several months. I did a HR first round call with them which led to a 1 on 1 with the PM. 

After the second call, the PM told me I essentially passed and I would be doing the case study next but didn’t give a timeframe. It’s been a week and haven’t heard anything, just was wondering if this was normal, and if the process is like usually extends like this. Thanks all.
