Hey Texas,
Good question - that 570 is a little bit above the current average score of around 540, so probably around 45% or so of test-takers score 570. So the answer is "fairly hard but nowhere near impossible" for the general population...but what really matters is how hard it will be for you.
I'd recommend taking a free practice test at
www.mba.com to get a feel for the test and where you'd score if you had to take it this week. If you're within striking distance, self-study a little, pay attention to your mistakes, and then take another practice test in a week or two to get an even better feel for whether you think 570 is comfortable. If not, or if your couple weeks of study doesn't get you too close, then you may want to start putting together a more comprehensive study plan.
One other thing worth thinking about - if a school would accept you at 570, there's a fair shot that you could be looking at scholarship money in the 650+ range, so you may want to ask about that even if you find that 570 is a pretty comfortable zone for you already.
