Yeah you nailed them right. Congratulations! There aren't anything else to say really.

You can move on to lesson 2.
Hi, congratulations on completing the exercise! I will give my personal opinion on your submission.
Overall, your boxes are neatly organised and each individual box looks neat! You clearly marked the position of the outermost face and gave all boxes discernible extension lines. If you want to further improve your skills (I bet you would), here are some tips:
Add variety to your boxes. Give it varying sizes, foreshortening rates and viewpoints, as this helps to put you out of your comfort zone and prevents you from being habituated to doing the same thing over and over. Whether the boxes look nice or not is NOT part of the criteria, and messy but bold and daring boxes are preferred.
In this lesson, under no circumstances are your extension lines to run parallel to one another. All your boxes must have its VP at a tangible point, off or on the paper, and not at infinity.

You can go on to Lesson 2.
Oh god I did not expect an actual critique at all! Thank you so much. Also, fyi, I spent too much time trying to figure out how that turret would look like at that angle even with a 3D model as reference, so I appreciate your input. The muzzle brake, the part you were talking about, I just rushed it because I was too tired and only wanted to get it over with, hence its angle.
Thank you for your critique.
You did it well, well done.

You got them right, mate. Although there are still minor issues: https://imgur.com/a/hVsr1fK , I would say those mistakes are acceptable for now, but you must work on, and fix, them in the future.

Hi. COngratulations on finishing the box challenge. I will give my feedback on your submission:
Your lines are straight, have no wobbling and you successfully connected all edges without fraying.
Your extension lines are incorrectly drawn. Those lines must ALWAYS go away from the viewer's eyes, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/uJ2ZoPm
Your VPs must be located behind the box, and your extension lines must converge as they approach the VP, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/QsxIGla
In the constraints of this lesson, your boxes must not have any parallel pair of lines. All lines must converge at a VP that is not infinitely far away: https://imgur.com/iNpIubA
A quick guide to illustrate my point: https://imgur.com/Kqg6uMX
Next Steps:
Please do another 20 boxes with the instructions given above. If you have any questions, reply to this message before putting pen to paper and I will be glad to help.
Congratulations on finishing the challenge!
You have shown remarkable improvement in dot placement, VPs alignment and VPs placement. That alone means you can move on to lesson 2, but before you do that, I would like you to do 20 more boxes with these instructions in mind:
Your VP alignment, although has improved, is still inaccurate. When you try to align the (inner) corner with existing VPs or otherwise, you can ghost lines (without putting the pen down of course!) to figure out where to put the corners of the box/VP.
You can try drawing bigger boxes, as it does put you out of your comfort zone and force you to figure out how to draw boxes accurately. Placing dots with big boxes are actually harder than with small ones.
20 boxes ain't much, but it does help you get the hang of it!
Yeah, you got it right, but you have to draw the inner corner as well. Drawing boxes with different foreshortening rates would also be nice, and is recommended, as it puts your sense of space to work. You can draw the 19 other boxes and post them here.
I would say that all of your boxes meet the requirements of the course, so good job. The only things you need to improve on is joining up the extension lines and (quality of life suggestion, but still) add a bit variation in box sizes (i.e. bigger/smaller ones).

You are done! Move on to lesson 2
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
