Do test results only get sent in "office hours"?

Just waiting for test results from test taken 10.30am yesterday.

DC are ready for school in case we hear it's a negative, but just wondering if it'll be after 9am that we hear.

Does anyone know if messages are only sent out 9-5ish?

We got ours about 10pm - on two consecutive days. One must have been a weekend, as DS didnt go back to school til the Monday.

Oh this is good news thanks.

The not knowing is making me anxious.

@Johnmenses not to burst your bubble but we have been waiting since tue morning. Hopefully we are not the norm. However I have been like you, counting the hours.

First time we did it back in august it was quite fast.

The not knowing and waiting is awful and stupid.

I've wondered this. First one was just after 7am. Second was 8.40. Both times the children only had to miss one day of school

My ds had a test at 12 midday and the result came through at just before 8am the next day. I think the labs must work through the night.
