When to test water after water change?

My tank has been cycling for three weeks now. I took my water to my LFS for testing and they said it was time for a water change. I just changed 30% of my water in my 90 gallon tank.
How long after doing the water change do I need to wait to get a "true" test? Do I wait a day or just several hours?

Thanks, that is what I had planned on doing. I just wanted to make sure that wasn't to soon.
