If you don't have a scope, a simple AC voltmeter will do. For series 
secondaries, the voltages will either add, giving you twice the 
voltage of one, or they will oppose, giving you close to zero.

For paralleled secondaries, connect one end of each secondary 
together, leaving the other ends open and measure the voltage between 
the two open ends. If the phasing is correct, you will measure 
essentially zero volts between them. If incorrect, you will measure double.
