Hey there!
I had so many problems.
This car is so beautiful.
I've said it so many times.
'Such' is used only with nouns, e.g. She is wearing such a beautiful dress! 'So' is used in all other cases.

Hello there,
In your examples “so” is the correct answer because:
• After “so” we can have an “adjective” or an “adverb”; for example, the exam is so easy(adj), he drives so fast(adv).
• After “such a/an” or “such” we need a noun phrase; for example, it is such a beautiful house (a beautiful house is a noun phrase, meaning it has an article((a)), an adjective ((beautiful)) and a noun ((house)))
Remember “such a/an” is used before singular countable nouns, but “such” is used before plural or uncountable nouns; for example, there are such good teachers on italki that help you learn English so fast! (Teachers = plural); using such furniture is commonly seen in this country (furniture = uncountable noun).

Such is a determiner; so is an adverb. They often have the same meaning of ‘very’ or ‘to this degree’:
Those are such good chocolates.
Those chocolates are so good.
We use such + noun phrase and so + adjective or adverb phrase:
She is such a great cook.
Not: She is so great cook.
That was so unpleasant. (so + adjective)
Not: That was such unpleasant.
Why do you drive so fast? (so + adverb)
Not: Why do you drive such fast?
So but not such can also be used in front of much, many, little, few to add emphasis:
So much food was wasted every day.
Not: Such much food was wasted …
In those days there were so few doctors in our area.
Not: … there were such few doctors …
