Passengers are not used during a partial evac (aks mini evac)
This is straight from the FAA website site:
9. PARTIAL EMERGENCY EVACUATION DEMONSTRATION. The partial demonstration simulates an aborted takeoff and requires that the flight attendants occupy their normal takeoff positions before the demonstration begins.
A. After the initiation signal, the aircraft's emergency evacuation equipment and 50 percent of the required emergency exits and slides must be ready for use in 15 seconds or less. No passengers are used in a partial demonstration.
B. A partial demonstration is required when an operator intends to add to the operation a type and model of aircraft for which either a FAR Part 121 operator or an aircraft manufacturer has conducted a full-scale emergency evacuation demonstration.
(1) Number. A partial demonstration is required if:
• A change in seating configuration requires the addition of a flight attendant
• Changes in seating capacity result in fewer or the same number of flight attendants, but the flight attendant duties and procedures change significantly
(2) Location. If an operator changes a flight attendant seating assignment, the ASI must determine if the flight attendant's duties and responsibilities change significantly. A significant change requires a partial demonstration.
(3) Duties and Procedures. If an operator makes significant changes in emergency evacuation duties or procedures, the ASI may determine a partial demonstration to be necessary. If the changes are minor or can be addressed in the operator's training program, a demonstration may not be required.
(4) Determining "Significant Change". The ASI must consider the following in determining the degree and significance of changes:
• Flight attendant knowledge and experience
• The operator's training program
• The increase in complexity of flight attendant duties in terms of additional exits, seats, or briefing responsibilities
C. The need for a demonstration must be coordinated with the appropriate Aircraft Certification Office and AFS-1 when the operator changes the following:
• The number, location, and/or type of emergency exits
• The type of opening mechanisms on the emergency exits
