The usual site for performing a standard bleeding time test is the forearm, just below the antecubital crease, as this area has a high concentration of capillaries and is easily accessible for testing. The other options (earlobe and finger) do not have as many capillaries and are not as suitable for this test, and the area just above the wrist may be too close to major nerves and blood vessels.
