Applications, fees, and recommendation forms.

SevenDad has a point. OTOH, if you have already given the teachers a jingle that they’ll be getting forms, it is not yet too late. I am also remembering that our dd’s math recommender noted that the new, supposedly easier to use, online forms are a real PITA, and that it would have been easier just to send letters, as in the old days. Even filling out PDFs has its limitations… from what I have seen, the PDFs are not electronically fillable (we made ours fillable in order to make our recommenders’ lives a bit easier, but that’s only because we had the software to do so)

In case anyone from SSAT or TABS or Gateway is paying any attention, how hard would it be, in this digital age, to make PDFs that a recommender can type into? It’s not like these teachers want to hand write their recs.

Anyway, back to the OP, you may want to consider 7Dad’s comment and get that ball rolling sooner rather than later.
