I have a playing test tommorow and the sheet music has a note that i've never seen before. It's like a sixteenth note but it actually has sixteen notes on it, and it's in 3/4 time. And you know how a sixteenth note has 2 parallel lines at the top or bottom, from which the stem of the note comes from?well this note has 3 parallel lines what is this????

This may actually be a quarter note with 3 slashes across the stem, in which case you play 3 notes in the time the quarter note would cover. It's a differt way of writing a triplet. I've also seen similar notation on half notes. You play as many notes as there are lines/slashes in the time the written note would take.

That's not quite correct, Dori. A quarter note with 3 slashes is to be split into 8 notes, each an eighth of the quarter note beat.
For a quarter note, 1 slash = 2 8th notes, 2 slashes = 4 16th notes, 3 slashes = 8 32nd notes, and 4 slashes = 16 64th notes. The number of slashes matches the number of beams (parallel lines) each short note would normally have.
An eighth note triplet would have one slash through the quarter note and the number 3 written above or below.
Eric, if what you're describing is a quarter note with two slashes through the end of the stem, then you should play 4 16th notes on the same note, and if there are 3 slashes, play 8 32nd notes on the same note.
