Which radical name should I study for the kanken?


I love learning kanji, so I thought about taking the kanken (probably level
6). So I started to look for information here and there, and it seems I'll
have to learn radical names.

I'm totally fine with that, but my problem is: which name to learn ? Let's
take 乙 for example: should I learn 乙部{おつぶ}, or simply 乙{おつ}. But in that case,
I found quite a lot of other names: おつにょう (well, I suppose this one is only if
the radical is used as a nyou part of a kanji), つりばり (this one seems to be for
the 乚 variant) or れ (seems to be for 乚 again) ? Or again for 丨: should I learn
丨部{こんぶ}, ぼう or たてぼう?




Last I checked, Kanken doesn't test on the **names** of any radicals, just
knowledge of which element of a particular kanji _is_ the radical. The names
are just for your own memorization. Call them whatever you want, though
knowing a few of the common ones can be useful for talking with Japanese
people about particular kanji.
