Pratctice your penmanship by writing out an entire page.
Take a mechanical pencil.
Ask at least one smart question at every stage.
Be polite to everyone.
Learn everybody's name (write them down).
Leave your thank you notes with the admin assistant when you leave at the end of the day.
Know the answers to at least a couple of the questions you missed on the online test.
Read the annual report they want you to read and quote some stats from it.
Don't act like a jerk at any time (they are watching ... seriously).
Do a interview prep with Clark, Tarver, or Emerald. Worth every penny if you really want the job.
Take a slow breath prior to every one of your answers.
Want the job and tell them that.
Relax. Enjoy the day.

Whatever you feel makes you interview best...
I definitely don't agree that wearing a suit and tie says that you can't follow directions. There really is no standard definition of business casual out there, although I will concede a full on suit and tie may be on the more formal end of it.

A lot of people in my September interview group wore suits and ties and got hired on here at Atlas. I personally don't think it matters one way or the other.

All I can tell you is a comment from one of the folks doing the setup for the thing. Last year while I was in town around October for a sim I asked how things were going with the new group and he said as he shook his head, "Not bad but you know, we publish that the thing is 'business casual' and they keep showing up with suit and tie'. The entire process is now pretty much a numeric thing with each portion worth X amount of points. It's not a good idea to do something that takes away points unless you plan on making up for it somewhere along the way. Just some intel I thought worth passing on.

Almost identical situation here. Although, my times are slightly lower.

Correct that there is no formal definition for business casual.
None of the Atlas employees who interviewed us had ties on. If you did wear a tie, you would most likely stand out and standing out because of my clothing was something I tried to avoid during my interview. I felt that my background, my character, and my answers were what I wanted them to remember.
Seemed to work for me. YMMV
