There are a few differences, the thing to note is that the INITIAL ATC medical is more strict than the subsequent physicals.

- The hearing test is done with a machine and a headset. ie - raise your right hand when you hear the beep in your right ear...etc.
- You are given an EKG - due to my age I'd never had one of those for my first class pilot medicals.
- Color vision is the Dvorine - no exceptions on this initial ATC medical. (they are currently making changes in this area)

Other than that, no biggy. Was in and out in about 30 minutes.
