PE: how long to hear back after LBO modelling test

I recently had my 3rd round which consisted of 3 interviews with senior members of the team and a LBO modelling test for a PE fund. I was told if I make it to the next stage, it will be the final round which will consist of interviews with the partners.

I had my 3rd round last Tuesday but haven’t heard back, I appreciate it’s only been 3 working days but I was wondering how long it normally takes to hear back after the LBO modelling test stage?
