exact
Not at all approximate
Exact means precise, with no variation or error: the exact time, the exact amount, the exact words someone used.
Something exact corresponds perfectly to a standard or requirement.
As a verb, to exact is to demand and obtain, often by force or authority: The hurricane exacted a heavy toll.
Exacting describes standards or people that demand precision.
