Actually only the AB CS exam is being cut - it's the more advanced of the two, trying to do some things with advanced data structures and algorithms. The A version of the CS exam remains and will be strengthened, according to the email sent to AP CS teachers.
The problem with the AB exam as I understand it was that it was too much for a year of HS in a lot of porograms, but not enough for credit for an extra semester of college credit.
