new to CFA exam

CFA Level I
#1

Hi everyone I’m only a little familiar with the CFA exam. and the CFA website doesn’t help much. So, hopefully you guys can clear something up for me. 1) Once I register and pay the fee for Level 1 exam, do I get any study books/notes/CD/sample exams from the CFA program ?? or do I have to go out and buy study books from somewhere else ? 2) Assuming I get the books from the CFA. Will studying these books alone help me pass the test ? Thanks

Those are very simple questions answered on the website. I suggest you search more thoroughly and search this forum too before posting.
