Can I use this Guide to study for Marketo Expert Certification?

This Guide is not endorsed by Marketo as a study Guide. I can tell you that some of what's on the test is in this Guide. In the past, I used my own Guide to prepare for the exam, however, it does not cover major topics such as Programs or newer features from mid-2013 onward. With the new 2017 MCE test, this Guide is helpful for areas like Admin or Lead Scoring. The Checklists and Filters Glossary are still relevant and nearly complete compared to the Official Docs. Please use docs.marketo.com as your primary Certification test reference starting in 2017 as the test answers are all there.

Of course, that means you should study using all the materials available. Do not hold me responsible if you do not pass the Certification Exam because I cannot make any claims that it will definitely help you pass or not pass.
