The earliest time to take it would be right before or when you should be getting your period. Different tests advertise different times of effectiveness.
Even EPT, which advertises effectiveness 5 days before missing your period, does not report 99% accuracy until the day you would be getting your period. I believe their tests are something like 65% accurate 5 days before.
If you wanted to be safe, and try to 'guarantee' a reliable result, wait until 5 weeks from day 1 of your cycle. By then, if you were pregnant, you should be assured of the result's accuracy.

Many tests say up to 5 days before your missed period; however, the best is the day after a missed period (i could never wait!). Whatever you decide make sure that it is the first urine of the day. This is when the HPT levels are the highest. Good Luck!!

The earliest would be a few days before your period is due, if you use a sensitive test. Both times I got positives before my missed period. Good luck.

I just took one last night which was 3 days after my expected period and it came up positive in like 15 seconds! i would wait at least until the day of your period or a few days after. Good luck!

Atleast 2 to 3 weeks after a missed period
