2) sounds better to my ear. results is plural and thus "are" rather than "is".

If the question "form" is confusing, think of it this way, "My results are coming out in 3 days."

Or, you could say, My examination results will be released in 3 days.

As a question, When are your exam results going to be released?

In any event, I'd got with "are" as opposed to "is".

Hope that helps.
