Just looking at your picture, you look like a relatively young man. So I wouldn’t be surprised if your FTP rises pretty substantially between scheduled tests for the next several months. So you might frequently find that your abilities are above the prescribed targets. Just realize that you aren’t meant to go 100% for each interval or each training session. Just because you CAN ride harder doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Just remember to look at your training as a whole and don’t ruin your next workout by smashing it on your current one. It’s something that you will get a better feel for as you ride more but something to keep in the back of your mind.
