Maybe if movie Boruto were hyped about the Exams I'd agree, but movie Boruto was kind of uninterested in the and averse to hard work in general, which is what led to him taking the Kote from Katasuke.

Series Boruto seems the opposite of that and I'm wondering if they'll reconcile the two or just go with a more motivated Boruto that cheats in an effort to get his father's attention.

It looks like the next episode might set that up. Naruto botching Himawari's birthday would have an effect on Boruto, perhaps damaging his motivation.
