Oh okay, let me see

(1) Hier, nous nous était promené (se promener) soudain il a commencé à pleuvoir
Okay so you got the reflexive right, that's night, but you got the wrong tense and the wrong conjugation for that tense. « nous nous étions promenés » describes the pluperfect which is a tense that describes an action happening before a perfect tense. For example, say we have this sentence:
« Après que Margaux était partie, Jim a décidé de partir aussi. »
Here, we have two actions: Margaux leaving and Jim deciding to leave. Margaux leaving happened first meaning that it's before Jim leaving; Jim left because she did. Because Jim leaving is in the perfect, the action happening prior to that is in the pluperfect. Your sentence doesn't describe that, it describes a background event interrupted by an action. Background events would be the imperfect tense. Refer to this lesson for more.

Also, « promener » takes a direct object so the past participle will agree in pronominal form : « il s'est promené, elles se sont promenées ». Moreover, « était » is for « il/elle/on », not « nous », so watch your persons. This is a common pattern in all three of your answers.

(2) Sylvie fera ses devoirs aussitôt qu'elle lisons (lire) la leçon.
You've got the wrong tense and the wrong person. I'll start with person since that's more fundamental: « lisons » is for « nous », you cannot mix up conjugations. « lisent », for example, goes with « ils » so you can never have « tu lisons ». Make sure your conjugation fits your person.
As for the tense, we have to first talk about the sequence of tenses. If we have two actions, the main being a future tense and the subordinate being prior to that future tense but still in the future, we use what's called the future perfect in French. Refer to this lesson for more.

« Je partirai une fois que j'aurai terminé mon travail. »
At the moment when I'm speaking, I'm still doing my work and I have not left. What I'm saying is that there are two actions happening in the future, me finishing my work and me leaving. Since the main clause is me leaving, the subordinate clause takes a tense between the present and the simple future. This is because me finishing my work happens before the main clause but they're both in the future.
We don't do this in English – in case your native language is English. In English, we would tend to use present perfect or the simple present to describe French's futur antérieur :
'I'll leave once I've finished my work / I'll leave once I finish my work'.

(3) Lorsque mes s'étaient habillées, elles est partises (partir)
« mes » is standing alone there, there should be a noun. You might've forgotten to write it but that's fine. Anyway, your tense is correct; again, refer to what I said in regards to (1). The subordinate clause happens before the main clause so when the main clause is in the perfect, you use the pluperfect, wonderful.
However, you misconjugated again. « elles » is plural third person but « est » is singular third person. Make sure your person and your conjugation go along. As for the past participle, it's « parti.e.s » not « partis.e.s ». « Jim est parti, Émilie et Camille sont parties ».
