You've got the basic rule down. They are both comparison words, but do a different job. "Like" compares how two nouns are alike. "As" compares how two nouns do the same verb.
So I can say:
Like his father, he went to school to study chemistry.
OR
He went to school to study chemistry, as did his father.
The GMAT will not make you choose between these. Both are right and mean essentially the same thing.
What you can't do is:
He went to school to study chemistry, like his father did.
OR
Like his father did, he went to school to study chemistry.
OR
He went to school to study chemistry, like his father. (Because here, 'like his father seems to be describing 'chemistry.')
