When I look for test points (except for tube socket pins which are well standardized or well labeled PCB or chassis stakes) I always look for 2 components that connect to the test point and trace them to their common junction to make sure I'm not on the wrong end of a resistor/capacitor or wrong lug of a coil...It's good practice and it's saved me headaches a few times. I've also seen Sam's have schematic and or typographic details wrong several times so I like to make sure everything makes sense to me.

Sometimes ( especially on point to point sets) rushing ahead without a clear understanding of what you are interacting with can lead you to accidentally changing things in a way that breaks things and is hard to find.
