Extract? The gravity will be as advertised. Difficult to screw up.
It is difficult to fully mix the kettle wort with the added sugar and if the gravity sample is taken from the top, it will generally indicate low.
Don't worry, the yeast will find the sugar.

Sorry for the long response time. I used 6lbs of Pale Malt Extract along with 1lb of Crystal 45 and 4oz each of Chocolate and Aromatic grain. I also topped off my fermenter with a couple bottles of water which could have diluted the reading.

Did you shake the fermenter to incorporate the water you just dumped in? The water needs to be mixed in with the wort to make an acurate reading of the OG.
