Ghosted Lines: Slight arching present in longer lines, just remember you can arch in the opposite direction to counteract this. Besides that solid line quality and confidence.
Ghosted planes/Ellipses in planes: At times you're ellipses will fall short of their correct placement. Keep it in mind moving forward.
Rough perspective: Next time you attempt this exercise, don't extend your lines past the horizon line so that you can more easily evaluate your mistakes. It's also worth mentioning that sometimes you went over your lines attempting to correct them and even crossed out one. In drawabox we are not supposed to go over lines like this. No matter how off a line is, we should just treat it as if it were correct and move forward.
Organic Perspective: Remember to keep the rate of foreshortening consistent. Optionally, you could've also used line weight to help communicate which boxes are in front and which ones are behind.
Conclusion: Very solid submission, you are more than ready for the 250 box challenge. Just keep in mind some of the notes above while you warm up with some of these exercises.
Best of luck moving forward

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
