The Starfleet Entrance Examination is hosted at Relva VII.
   
You can apparently sign on for freighter duty at Beltane IX. The planet Ardron IV is also mentioned.
   
First appearance of the Benzites. They apparently require special breathing apparatus as they are unable to survive in a normal human atmosphere.
   
Zaldans have webbed fingers and regard politeness as false and offensive. They find Melanoid Slime Worms disgusting.
   
Wesley is frightened of Bulgallian rats.
   
The Federation is dated at over 200 years old.
   
The matter-antimatter ratio in a starship is always 1:1.
   
Picard failed his Entrance Examination to Starfleet the first time, but passed the second.
   
Wesley will be sixteen one month from this episode.
   
Wesley's repeat Starfleet exams, which Picard insists that he will take the next year, can be seen in "Samaritan Snare" although the testing itself is not shown with none of the drama associated with the "psych test".
   
Remmick makes reference to the events of "The Naked Now", "Justice", "Where No One Has Gone Before", and "The Battle".
   
We see Remmick interview all the main cast with the exception of Lt. Yar. Presumably this interview happened off screen, if Picard's statement of "Mister Remmick, you have talked to everyone on this ship" is to be believed.
