(This is what Kaplan says in the Verbal workout).
In sentences where there is a list of examples, if you are given a choice between "such as" and "like" preceding the list of examples, always go for "such as". (From my personal experience with GMAT SC).

This is generally right. However, "like" is often followed by [noun] + [verb]. For example, "He plays piano like my father does" is better than "He plays piano as my father does."

What you said is perfectly correct, but I was referring specifically to sentences which contain a "list of examples".
Something like: "He likes to play sports such as tennis, football and basketball.".
