i think if they gave you a rhythm like torsades or vfib, you wouldnt be expected to measure anything since there arent really any identifiable complexes. they might have you measure brady/tachy rhythms... just remember the 6 sec method, and that each little box is 0.04 (one big box is 0.20) and you should be fine.

Eta: this is good website for learning different rhythms--
www.ecglibrary.com, its not too wordy and it just tells you what the important stuff is about each one
