Superimposed lines: Your lines are pretty wobbly and not confident but you align your pen at the correct place.
Ghosted lines: Dots doesnt need to be that big and your lines are still wobbly, we want them to be smooth and confident
Ghosted planes: Your line quality increases a bit but remember, you need to use your arm and draw your line without hesitation
Ellipses in planes & Table of Ellipses: You need to complete your ellipses in 2-3 motions you can't build muscle memory with only one round
Funnels of ellipses: They get a bit better but remember, you need to use your arm
Plotted perspective: You could be a bit neater with your paper but it looks correct
Rough perpective: We don't draw over the same line in order to correct it. If it's not correct, leave it be and do better next time.
Organic perspective: I think this page looks like it's done a bit quickly. Make sure you read through the exercise page before you commit. I also recommend you to take a cube on your hand and examine how it looks like in different positions
Next Steps:
I recommend you to redo the exercise before you go further. You need to especially work on your line quality because every other exercise build on them

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.
