✦Grammar Breakdown
Ont'appelleraquandtesrésultatsserontprêts
Impersonal "on"
"On" is used like "we" or "people" in informal French; it makes the statement sound less formal than "nous".
Object pronoun "t'"
"t'" is the contracted form of "te" before a vowel; it replaces "you" as a direct object.
Future simple (appellera, seront)
Future simple is formed by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive; here it expresses a future action.
Agreement of "prêts"
The adjective "prêt" agrees in number and gender with "résultats" (masculine plural → "prêts").
Temporal clause with "quand"
When "quand" introduces a future event, French often uses the future tense in both clauses, though the present can also be used.

✕Common Mistakes
On t'appellera quand tes résultats sera prêt.
The verb must agree with the plural noun "résultats"; use "seront".
On t'appellera quand tes résultats seront prêt.
The adjective must match the plural noun; add an "s" → "prêts".
On te appellera quand tes résultats seront prêts.
Before a vowel, "te" contracts to "t'"; otherwise the sentence sounds unnatural.
On t'appellera quand tes résultats sont prêts.
While the present is possible, mixing tenses (future in main clause, present in subordinate) can feel less formal; keep both in future for consistency.
↔Alternatives

On te contactera dès que tes résultats seront prêts.
We’ll contact you once your results are ready.
Cultural Tip
In everyday French, "on" is the go‑to pronoun for informal statements like this. In a formal setting (e.g., a hospital or official letter) you would replace it with "nous" or "nous vous". Also, French often keeps the future tense in both the main and subordinate clause after "quand", but using the present in the subordinate clause ("quand tes résultats sont prêts") is also perfectly acceptable and sounds a bit more natural to native ears.
