Also, we had a very general category called "5-Letter Science Terms". What do test administrators expect for this?

Any terms that are five-letters? It's a little unusual, but now that you know it you can prepare for it.

It's impossible to predict what kinds of categories any ES will use. In theory, they should get harder at each level but not so much so that the test is impossible (because the Nationals ES needs to separate scores between, what, sixty teams?). All things considered, those categories are pretty bad.
