Does 6 days matter for testing?

For some reason I calculated that 3 months from my exposure would lie on the 25th of February, when I happen to be on a break from school. However today I realised that this is 84 days post-exposure instead of 90 days. Should I wait another week or do 6 days really make a difference.

I'm looking for a conclusive result so I can move on from this. This waiting has been unbearable!

Cheers

12 weeks is considered as standard window period in most countries of the world.so it is 100% conclusive.
