In the ghosted planes I see parts that look like there was some corrections done when the line didn't end at the intended place, embrace those misses and move on, don't try to correct with extra lines.
In the ellipses I see many that look like they weren't drawn through completely, don't be afraid to go a third time if necessary to ensure you've gotten through the whole form.
In the funnels it appears that some of these didn't have an ellipse in the actual center of the funnel, make sure you're reading through the material carefully to best understand the instructions. They are tightly packed and looking good otherwise.
The boxes look to be in the right direction as far as angle and foreshortening, but remember to take your time with each line as it's own unit of work, ghost through the line and draw with your shoulder. Some look like they have some arc that might be coming from the elbow or wobble that comes from the wrist correcting itself.
Next Steps:
I think you should be good to proceed to the 250 box challenge next. Make sure to warm up with more ghosted planes and AFTER you've done a few boxes in the challenge and re-reviewed the core material, look at the supplementary material for identifying your foreshortening angles either in the discord or here:
Additional checks to validate the foreshortening of the boxes:

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
