Here are a few examples:

So:

I overslept, so I was late for work.

I have so much homework.

As:

My brother is as tall as my father.

I don't have as much money as I thought I did.

Even:

Even though I was late for work, I was still on time for the meeting.

I ate even more food than I usually do.

I have $5 even. This means no more or no less than $5.

Meet me at 6 pm even. This means not earlier or later than 6pm

If:

If I don't get enough sleep, I am tired all day.

What if I run out of time?

If you want to watch the movie, you have to buy a ticket.

Hi,

So:

I overslept, so I was late for work. OK

I have so much homework. OK, although it;s better to use 'so' to introduce a result/consequence, eg I have so much homework that I can't watch TV tonight.

As:

My brother is as tall as my father. OK

I don't have as much money as I thought I did. OK

Even:

Even though I was late for work, I was still on time for the meeting. OK

I ate even more food than I usually do.OK

I have $5 even. This means no more or no less than $5. OK

Meet me at 6 pm even. This means not earlier or later than 6pm No, this is not idiomatic when speaking of time. You might say '6 pm on the dot', 'exactly 6 pm'.

If:

If I don't get enough sleep, I am tired all day. OK

What if I run out of time? OK

If you want to watch the movie, you have to buy a ticket. OK

You seem to have a pretty good understanding of these terms.
