Pulse rate (or heart rate) is measured in the number of beats per minute. So, the most accurate would be to count the number of beats in an entire minute. If the person's heart rate is regular, though, pulse can be counted for a shorter amount of time, such as 10 seconds (multiply by 6 to get the beats per minute) or even 6 seconds (multiply by 10 to get the beats per minute) to give a fairly accurate count.
