Default Testing oven temperature

I don't think that oven thermometers are especially reliable, and I've
seen advice to buy more than one and test the oven with them.

Are you having problems with whatever it is you're cooking in your
oven? I would think baking a cake would tell you pretty well if your
oven is off by a lot. Follow the directions with a mix and see what
happens.
