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

The guide covers some of the topics on the test, but Marketo does not endorse it as an official study guide. The Guide contains useful information for areas such as Lead Scoring and Admin in light of the new 2017 MCE test. Checklists and Filters Glossary are still relevant and nearly complete compared with the Official Docs. Please use docs.marketo.com as your primary Certification test reference as the test answers are all there. We are not responsible for whether you pass or fail the exam as we can not make that guarantee
