Answer Early says you can test up to 4 days before AF and First Response Early I think is 3 days. The % of it giving you a more actuarate result goes up the closer you are to AF.

you can test early, but it's been my personal experience that it's best to wait until you're 1-2 days late. the later you are, the better chance at getting a positive. with my DD i tested on Saturday (the day i expected AF) for a negative. tested again on Tuesday and got a positive. the other 2 times were different, i found out after AF was expected once and found out on the day of once (only for 2 m/c later on).

I also think you should wait until after you are late. I tested twice before I was late. The first one was a faint line and the second was neg. I waited until I was 2 days late and got a very very bright positive. Hope this helps.
