Can we use API freshwater master test kit?

I have a API freshwater master test kit from years of freshwater keeping I'm curious if it will work for my marine tank that I just set up?

For a few tests it works. The nitrate and nitrite tests should be the same IIRC. But for others it is useless. The pH and calcium tests definitely won't work, nor will anything to do with alkalinity. Do yourself a favor and get a good set of tests.
