How long should I wait around to hear back after a modelling test?

Already had screening interview and superday. I just had the modelling test late last week and haven't heard back yet.

I think I nailed it except for 1 part of it and thought given I did well in the interviews it would get me through to the next round / an offer. Getting a bit concerned as they got back in 1-2 business days after the previous interviews but I have heard modelling tests sometimes take longer to review.

This was for an A2 role. I’m not sure if it’s common but I know a few people have had to do them for lateral positions. Depends on bank and role I suppose. This was for a MM.

 

Yep - In my experience if you haven't heard back in a week, you're not their first pick. Doesn't mean you are out of the running though.
