Maybe this has been asked or answered before but im watching the tng episode where wesely takes the starfleet entrance exams and only one person gets it. Im thinking its per quadrant thing but it just seems so nuts that they take so few. Not to mention you would think two or three would be retakers. Was this ever explained?

I don't think "Coming of Age" is very clear on this topic. It's probably best to assume that only one candidate from that small group will be selected, and that there are many similar groups throughout the Federation. A pretty silly way to run things, but... 🤷
