B1/B2 visa approved for exam. Can I go for tourism as the first trip?
I hold a B1/B2 visa for USA issued for sitting an examination in June. I have a vacation before then, in February, and would like to spend it in USA.
Can I go to USA using this visa?
This is my first trip. I have not yet travelled with the justification given for requesting the visa and am concerned that I might not be permitted entry when first arriving for a different purpose than the reason given in my visa application.

You were granted an extra visa, you asked for a visa for examination but they granted you both, the business and the tourist visas for 10 years, this simply means you are welcome to come over as a tourist. You will be going using the the B2 tourist visa, while the exams are on the B1 visa, it does not really work that way but I was making a point.
The only thing that might be an issue is the annotations, most likely you will not have annotations in your visa page, if that's the case then no worries, if there are annotations that states a college name or something similar, then you might be questioned.
