1. Does CFA institute Provide the books when you register for exam?it seemed like that

I think you pay for it all together, and they send you the books (6 in total).

2. I am planning to use Schweser Notes study package, which version should i buy to get the results, I dont want to spend a fortune but i do want something thats absolutely necessary.

Latest version. They offer two volumes of practice questions that you may consider buying. But I'm not sure how much it costs; I never bought it.

3. How difficult is it and does having a strong accounting background help?

About 20% of the questions is Level 1 exam comes from Financial Reporting and Analysis. A strong Accounting background will certainly help. And it's good if you also have some knowledge of International Accounting (IASB).
