Both could be correct and that depends upon the context they are used. You cannot select or reject a choice just based on this preference. There will certainly be some other errors in the wrong choice.

BTW, in most of the questions I have experienced "such that" is correct because that go with the context and intended meaning.

The statement is accurate, both can be used:

It was such a wonderful show that I recommended it to my friend.

She kept a straight face so as to conceal her anger.

Not sure if that helps...

Hi mukherjee.tanuj3,

Either of those phrases could appear in a correct answer. Most SCs are based on 2-4 grammar rules, and you don't necessarily need to know all the rules to choose the correct answer.

If you're dealing with an SC in which you have to choose between those two phrases, I'd suggest that you consider the other grammar issues that appear in the prompt. Chances are good that there's an easier grammar rule that can be dealt with instead of trying to determine which of the two phrases is preferable.
