What is different about Tübingen
Three weeks to pay at SIT
The fee has to be with the institute three weeks before the exam. Bank transfers from abroad need to be started earlier than that.
TestDaF and Pflege in one town
Vivat Lingua is accredited for TestDaF as well as telc, and runs the nursing format. Most cities of 91,000 have neither.
A sitting for one person exists
If no scheduled date works, an individually arranged exam can be booked at €380 to €450. Expensive, but it beats missing a university deadline.

Booking is the easy half. Sit a full model test in the format you booked - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics tell you which module needs the weeks between now and your date.
