Question Prepositions that require subject pronouns

My workbook gives me the following list of prepositions that use the subject pronouns yo and instead of prepositional pronouns, and ti:

entre
excepto
incluso
menos
salvo
según


But then there is, immediately following, a translation exercise that goes like this:
English: She is like you.
Spanish: Ella es como tú. (I wrote "...como ti.")

So, does "como" always take the subject pronouns, yo and instead of prepositional pronouns, and ti? Should it have been included in the list stated above?

What other prepositions should be included in that list?

Yes, your book left out 'como'. Here's a page with the list.

¡Válgame! No era consciente de que había más preposiciones que la lista que me hicieron aprender en la escuela (que no incluye entre, excepto, incluso, menos, salvo).

Por cierto, ¿alguien más tuvo que aprenderse esto de memoria?

   Preposiciones    
 a  desde  por 
 ante  en  según 
 bajo  entre  sin 
 cabe  hacia  so 
 con  hasta  sobre 
 contra  para  tras 
 de

Angélica, nosotros no decimos "no era consciente de ..." nosotros en Chile decimos "No estaba consciente de..."

¿No me digas que salvo y todas esas otras son ahora preposiciones en castellano?

Y sí, también me las tuve que aprender de memoria.

Me hace sentir menos sola el que hayamos aprendido la lista desde España hasta Chile (así haya sido incompleta).
