Scheduled task not starting right at the second

I have 2 tasks set to run at 9:28 AM EST everyday and they seem to start at that minute but at random second intervals. How can I assure these to start right at 9:28:00 AM EST?

If you need them to start that accurately, start them early and have a loop at the beginning that waits for the correct time and then lets the rest of the code run.
