Nice, no EKG. I wonder if having a DOT medical card would be roughly
equivalent to the CMEC. In otherwords do I still have to see an airmans
medical examiner or can my DOT doctor do it?

A couple of things have changed since you last had a medical.
You can now do ‘BasicMed’ to satisfy the FCC requirement:
What do I need to do to fly under BasicMed?
1.. Comply with the general BasicMed requirements (possess a U.S. driver's
license, have held a medical after July 14, 2006).
2.. Get a physical exam with a state-licensed physician, using the
Comprehensive Medical Examination Checklist
3.. Complete a BasicMed medical education course;
4.. Go fly!
As a CFI I can complete a BFR with you while acting as PIC for the flight,
meaning you do not have to have a current medical to complete.
Once you (as a certified pilot) complete the online course you can take that
certification to any CFI to certify your application to get your ‘remote pilot’
license.
Your private certificate does not cover you to fly a drone (remote pilot in FAA
terms).

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
commercial ground school once but realized I really didn't need commercial 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?
