The test strength at full cure will be determined by the design mix at the plant. Most concrete batch plants will supply a design mix above what is called for. If you order 2,500 psi concrete the design mix might be 2,800 psi or higher.
The batch plants do this to compensate for field conditions and placement irregularities. They assume that field curing and placement of concrete is not done in lab conditions. It minimizes their liability.

Assume the best and ask questions.
