Would it put me at a disadvantage?
In June 2011, in my Year 10 year, I took AS Chinese and achieved a B.
In June 2012, in my Year 11 year, I retook a single unit in AS
Chinese, still obtaining B.
In June 2013, in my Year 12 I will be taking my A2 Chinese.
Do you think Universities will discriminate over my AS Chinese because I took it over two years [and therefore, including my A2 Chinese, took my A-levels over 3 years]?
:/

Erm - yes. I don't think that you'll be able to apply using it, but I'm not sure

No. All AS and A levels are turned into ucas points. They don't really care if you take 2 or 3 years at the end of the day it only adds to your total points.
You are worrying over nothing

Why would they not accept a qualification due to someone taking 2 years? A qualification is just that a qualification. There are plenty of reasons that people may not complete the qualification in a year.

If it is your 'home' language there is a chance universities will not count it in any offers made- they will expect your grades for entry to come from three-four other subjects anyway.

Only the lower ranked unis look at ucas points. To get into a good uni they just care about grades. And some of the very good unis like LSE, UCL, St Andrews, Edinburgh frown upon A-Levels being taken over more than 2 years.
