ok so I have a quiz game and for the title screen I have loaded a bitmap, but it is extremely zoomed in, I was wondering on how I would scale the picture to fit the screen.

Open it in Paint or any other image editing software, select the "Change Size" option (in paint CTRL+W or CTRL+H as far as I know) and scale it to the required size.

If you want to do it right in the code, you should probably use sprites. You'd have to load the image as image then (load image, not load bitmap) and make a sprite from that image. Size sprite or Scale sprite do the job.

If you just want to texture the background for a title screen then you can do something like this:



The image is automatically scaled to fit the screen (sample 2048x2048 image attached).
