The equivalence point should correspond to the end point in order to accurately determine the concentration of the analyte being titrated. If the equivalence point is reached before the end point, not enough titrant was added and the concentration will be underestimated. If the equivalence point is reached after the end point, too much titrant was added and the concentration will be overestimated.
