As shown in this question, for the Raspberry Pi model B, in order to measure the voltage you just connect a multimeter to the TP1 and 2 pads. How is this done on the Raspberry Pi model B+ and 2 which are not labeled?

Although not as conveniently this can also be done on the raspberry pi B+ and 2 by connecting the Vcc (red lead) of the multimeter to PP7 on the bottom of the board and Gnd (black lead) to PP3.

    Frankly I feel it is much simpler to measure between pins 4 (5V) and 6 (ground). Preferably by attaching jumper leads to the pins and then measuring the voltage at the end of the wires suitably spaced to prevent a short circuit. That works on all the Pis apart from the compute module.

    True, but like you said you must take precautions to not short the GPIO pins 3v and 5v together. This is a safer way for a beginner I would think.
