If your goal is long-term retention of the material, then it would be best not 
to re-test before the schedule. Spaced repetition works by attempting to 
re-present information a little before than the time you would forget, at ever 
increasing intervals, thus gradually moving that piece of information from your 
short term memory, to long term, and occasionally your permanent memory.

There are reasons why you may want to learn ahead of schedule, though. For 
instance, if you feel the cards are scheduled too far into the future, and you 
have already forgotten most of them, then there is no point in waiting for 
their scheduled date. If this is happening it's probably because you gave the 
cards too high a grade.

If i use the 'learn ahead of schedule' feature a lot will it actually
cause more harm than good in the long term?
