Measure Every Poem You Meet

The idea
In practice, measure before reading: lines, beats, rhyme, stanzas. It takes under a minute and it builds the reflex the exam pays for. Candidates who read first and measure only when asked arrive at the measurement under time pressure, which is when it goes wrong.
In practice
Measure first, read second.
Where people slip
Under pressure, the reflex is what survives.
