An measurement method and a terminal, where the method includes: determining, by a first antenna selection module in terminal, at least two measured antennas, setting the at least two measured antennas as a first measurement antenna, adding the first measurement antenna to an occupied antenna set; determining measurement duration of the first measurement antenna; performing a measurement operation on the first measurement antenna; determining, by a second antenna selection module, a second measurement antenna and measurement duration of the second measurement antenna based on the occupied antenna set and the measurement duration of the first measurement antenna, adding the second measurement antenna to the occupied antenna set; performing a measurement operation on the second measurement antenna; and determining, a measurement result of the first measurement antenna and a measurement result of the second measurement antenna when the measurement duration of the first measurement antenna ends.
