Getting SS in pretty much all the dan 3 tests is heavily dependent on RNG, so I understand the frustration. I think rather than removing any grade other than SS in that case, make it instead that each grade actually progresses you toward the next Dan ranking. What I mean is, instead of making it "you need 2 SS ranks to get dan 3." make it instead, "you need some combination of 20 A ranks, 8 S ranks or 2 SS ranks to get dan 3." (the numbers here are just examples of course) in other words, more similar to previous rankings: you have multiple possible requirements that each give something toward the next rank, but you don't need ALL of them to get the next rank. That way every pass is genuine progress, even if it isn't the quickest progress possible. 2 SS ranks will still be preferable for speed's sake, but 20 A ranks would still get the job done.
