Hi,
I am looking for a golden rule which distinguishes between the usages of As vs Like...I have looked at this post as-like-98303.html which was a very elaborative compilation on this distinction...which is very informative...but still I was not sucessful in solving more than half of the SC question...Does anyone know the golden rules to be followed for the usage of As and Like while reading an SC question ?
Please share here..!!
Thanks!!

Probably, this could be useful for you:

But remember there are not "golden rules" in GMAT. Just think that they are references.
For example, the word "being" usually is wrong in GMAT, BUT NOT ALWAYS.
The only golden rule is practice. If you have doubts about an specific question, post it here. This is the best way to improve your score.
I think I deserve kudos

One thing I actually took away from princeton review and wasn't found in the MGMAT SC guide was this 'rule'. It seems to help me with the difference, but I'm curious if it's controversial since it's not used in both.
As - compares actions (A-Actions)
Like - compares nouns
