To be the second to orbit the moon and first to travel the moon with the entire spacecraft configuration.

They were called the "dress rehearsal" for the actual lunar landing. They had the same spacecraft, they separated the LM and CSM Stack, and the LM descended to within 8 nautical miles of the moon's surface before aborting the landing (as planned) and rejoining the CSM. This proved that everything short of the actual landing worked.
