"Of" is never used with "Except".

Depending upon the situation, sometimes "except" doesn't take any preposition, and in certain situations "except" is followed by "for" preposition.


Do not use "of" after "except" for it is not acceptable.

@kainaat:

Please note these prepositions:

1: I had nothing on except for my socks.
2: Children under five are excepted from the survey.

@Raz is right, "Of" is never used with "Except".

@salman is right too, "for" is mostly used.
