Point at Issue (Disagreement) Questions

A new stimulus shape: two speakers, and the question asks what they disagree about. The correct answer is a claim both speakers have taken an identifiable position on, with opposite views.

1. Both Speakers Must Address It

The most common wrong-answer trap: a claim only one speaker addresses. If speaker B never takes a position on it, it can't be the point of disagreement.

2. Genuinely Opposite Positions

Both speakers must hold identifiably different views on the same specific claim — not just different topics or different emphases.

Practice items on this page are curriculum-authored in LSAT style; they are not official LSAC questions. Real drilling happens on LawHub — see the assignment below.

Q1. Speaker A: "The merger will boost efficiency." Speaker B: "The merger will face regulatory obstacles." What do they disagree about?

A. Whether the merger will boost efficiency

B. Nothing directly — they address different claims (efficiency vs. regulatory obstacles)

C. Whether mergers are ever a good idea

D. The cost of the merger

Correct answer: B. Speaker B never addresses efficiency, and Speaker A never addresses regulatory obstacles — no shared claim with opposite positions, so there's no identifiable point of disagreement here.
