If you set it to 15, it's 15.
If it shows 15 is could be anwhere from 14.000000001 to 15.999999999 depending on the clock.
Most game clocks (well, those without tenths) are the latter (so the horn sounds 1 second after it shows 0); most shot clocks are the former (so the horn sounds as soon as it shows 0).
Next time you get a chance, try this. Set both clocks (say, 8:00 and 30). Start and stop almost immediately. Note that one has likley changed and one hasn't.
