How would you say “really/so” in Japanese?

For example, in a conversation emphasizing someone or something :
“ You look really/so cute!” “Damn, that math test was really/so difficult!”

Foreigner N2 level here. So maybe my answer isn’t correct. Two ways I could think of are:
~ね Or 超~
As in kawai-ne or Chou-kawai, Chou-muzukashikatta
And obviously it depends on your emphasis when speaking. If writing using katakana can be also a form of stressing a word.
Enjoy studying Japanese!

In addition to LikeBike’s good suggestions, textbooks would teach you “totemo” for “very,” as in:
- Totemo kawaii (You look very cute) - Totemo muzukashikatta! (It was very difficult!)
In colloquial speech, this “totemo” can be said emphatically (“tottemo”) like: - Tottemo kawaii (ne)! - Tottemo muzukashikatta (ne)!
Also you could use “sugoku” (extremely = used almost the same as “totemo” in speech) or “suggoku” (said emphatically).
