Your Lines exercises seem to be in good shape. Not perfect, but about where you should be at this point in your studies. Though for your Table of Ellipses, you may not be drawing over your Ellipses enough (you seem to have only done it once in some cases instead of twice or three times).
You seem to have the most trouble with your Boxes, which is also natural. For your Organic Perspective, on the first page a lot of your boxes towards the "back" seem to be drawn in the same orientation. You corrected this for your second, but on that one your boxes didn't seem to diminish in size properly as they recede into the background. For yopur Rotated Boxes, I noticed that the boxes that are further from the center seem to go to the same vanishing point, which they shouldn't.
Though most importantly, you seem to have done only one row of the Plotted Perspective exercise, when the example suggests three. Normally I'd say you could skip it, since it's a pretty mindless and easy exercise, but your Rough Perspective looks like it's all over the place (and you also didn't do enough of that), so maybe going back to Plotted Perspective might help.
Beyond that, you did everything about right for now, so just go back and re-do the Plotted and Rough Perspective, then you can move on (and knowing what comes next, you'll probably appreciate the extra practice drawing boxes).
Next Steps:
Go back and re-do the Plotted Perspective exercise at least two more times (create two to three rows on a single page) and then see if that helped your Rough Perspective by doing two more pages of that (also divide your pages into three rows each).

Thank you for your critique.
Here's the rest of the exercices I did not do https://imgur.com/a/8tRLPOY

Good job! You went above and beyond by re-doing the Organic Perspective when you just needed to re-do Plotted and Rough.
Next Steps:
Someone else also did a critique of you, so I'll go ahead and agree to theirs so you can move on to the 250 Box Challenge.
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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
