A method of measuring hematocrit and a method of testing blood are provided. The method for measuring hematocrit includes the following steps. A test strip is provided. The test strip includes a reaction area and a pair of electrodes disposed on the reaction area. A whole blood sample is entered to the reaction area. After the whole blood sample has been entered to the reaction area, a set of square wave voltage is applied to the pair of electrodes based on a method of square wave voltammetry, so as to obtain a response related to hematocrit. A difference between an initial time at which the whole blood sample is entered to the reaction area and an initial time at which the set of square wave voltage is applied is in a range of 0.1 seconds to 200 seconds. A value of hematocrit is calculated according to the feedback value.
