As a 2006 grad from HS I might be able to shed some light for ya. A 157 is equivalent to a 1570. They just make it 3 digits so it's easy to recognize as a PSAT score. Now the 1570 is on the newer SAT which is now out of 2400pts with the newly added writing section. For most of you familiar with the old 1600 point system (as I am in dealing with the military academies) thats right around a 1050. Hope maybe that makes it a little clearer for you.
