Found the process:
For people who already hold a pilot certificate issued under 14 CFR part 61,
You simply need to complete the FAA’s online course, which will take you
about two hours to complete. Note that you must have completed a flight
review within the previous 24 months.
Crap, have not had a medical in years...

That is absolutely not true. You need a UAS license to be able to fly even
though the testing is very similar to a private pilot license but it does
have other things attached to it.

I am a private pilot with an instrument rating. I started doing

for the incidental business flying I was doing so I dropped it. I know
nothing about drone operations or regs. I have been told that I can
legally fly drones due to my regular license. Not sure if that is even
true.

I was looking through the FAA Requirements to get a drone license. If I
understand correctly, if you use the drone in any way as a commercial
flight, I.E. taking pictures of a tower, then you need the commercial
license.
The FAA Website talks about going to a testing facility to Pass the
'initial aeronautical knowledge test'. The FAA links out to
psiexams.com At psiexams.com they don't have a 'initial aeronautical
knowledge test' listed, but they do have a 'Unmanned Aircraft General -
Small (UAG)'. Is this the test that you actually need to pass? Many
people here are pilots, what are good resources to study/practice for
the tests? Has anyone recently gotten their drone license. How big of
a deal is it?
