Here, extra classes after school or extra-curricular learning centres would simply be called something like "extra tuition". Neither of them expresses the specific idea of "cramming" for an exam. As shown in the previously-linked definition, it refers to intensive study for an imminent exam.
I would expect a "cram school" (I keep putting it in quotes simply because it's not a term commonly used in my variant of English) to accept/tutor only students who are due to sit an exam in the next two to three weeks.
