Default AMRAP? with good for or til exhaustion

Quick question about doing "as many reps as possible:" does this mean as many reps as you can complete with good form or does it mean as many reps as you can complete and then collapse?

missjane is right
the purpose is not to stress you by working to failure but to let you work with the same weight that was challenging for 15 reps when you started and see how far you have come.
