  • Are these sentences to be used on their own, for example as a note on a notice board where exam results will soon be posted, or as part of a complete sentence?.

Your two examples and your reply to my question are in Telegram Style. Both of these sentences can be de-telegramised to make grammatically correct sentences:

The results have not been announced yet.

The results have not yet been announced.

Expanded in this way, there is no difference in meaning between the two sentences.
