No. The Dead Sea Scrolls are writings from a Jewish apocalyptic sect in Qumran before the Hebrew Bible actually had a canon. There are similarities and there are places where the words are the same, however, they (the sect in Qumran) were not trying to duplicate the Hebrew Bible and so their writings are not as you say ‘exact’.
